LABIAPLASTY AND BEYOND

Plastic surgeons witness an increasing
number of women visiting them in order to correct imperfections in their
genitalia, with the procedures extending from labia minora (small inner lips)
reduction to labia majora (large outer lips) enhancement by injectable materials
or fat, and clitoroplasty (plastic surgery of the clitoris).

The increase in this
type of surgeries along with innovative pain-free techniques were announced at
the annual conference of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(A.S.A.P.S)
held in Vancouver, Canada, 3-9 May 2012.

The increased demand is a result of women
removing unwanted or excess hair from the area by wax, laser or shaving. Thus,
women are able to notice all localized imperfections and show no tolerance in
projecting small inner lips or atrophic or oversized large outer lips.

It is much like small or large breasts.
The flooded internet with countless images of raw genitalia, “Playboy” pictures
and “Victoria’s Secret” models, all have their share in the increasing demand of
labiaplasty by women aged 16 years and above.

Women should turn to highly experienced
plastic surgeons; a specialized plastic surgeon can protect the function of this
intimate area. The plastic surgeon must be certified by the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (A.S.A.P.S).

It is worth mentioning that the average
of women visiting the plastic surgeon are everyday women - private employees,
public servants, engineers, lawyers, physicians, young students, etc and only a
handful of dancers or stripers.

Moreover, it is not unusual for plastic
surgeons to treat young girls aged 15-19 years with asymmetric small inner lips;
with the applicable corrective surgery, asymmetric labiaplasty or unilateral
labiaplasty, the imperfection becomes history.

The majority of women are aged 25-35
years and troubled by the “looks” of the area when in standing position.

Another group comprises women around the
age of menopause, i.e. 38-68 years. This group of women witnesses a gradual
disharmony occuring in the area -wrinkling and labial atrophy- which is
corrected by labiaplasty and, if appropriate, enhancement of the large outer
lips by injectable materials and/or abdominal fat for the rejuvenation of the
genitalia.

The techniques applied on the area are:

Hypertrophic labia minora reduction

Hypertrophic labia majora reduction

Enhancement of the atrophic labia
majora and the volume of the Mount of Venus (pubis) by injectable materials
and fat.

Clitoral
unhooding
(hoodectomy)
using a new special technique

Vaginal posterior pole reduction

All the above procedures last only 30
minutes and are performed under regional anesthesia and mild sedation.
